Steps

2.
Microwave at 550 W for 2 minutes, stir with a whisk. Next, microwave for 1 minute, stir, and repeat 3 times. (Total microwaved time is 5 minutes) As you stir, the edges will thicken and the whole thing will become a sticky, paste-like texture. Continue mixing well.

3.
Use a rubber spatula to scoop Step 2 into a bowl with a little bit of water, and use your hand to tear into bite-sized pieces. Place in a colander and change the water, add ice, and chill.

4.
Strain the water with a colander.

5.
Serve in a dish, top with brown sugar syrup and soybean flour, and they're finished.

Story Behind this Recipe

Last year, one of my coworkers told me how delicious soy milk warabi mochi is. I made my own original recipe using a microwave. I also thought of many different flavor profiles to go with it and when I tried brown sugar syrup and soybean flour, the flavor was a big success!

Helpful Hints

Since it's made with soy milk, these dumplings turn out so, so creamy. Since this recipe won't heat up the kitchen, you can enjoy chilled warabi mochi during summer. If you chill them in the refrigerator for a long time, they'll tend to harden, so I recommend chilling them in ice water and serving them immediately.
